Chapter 22 Invitation 2
When a loud voice greeting the young master came from outside the door, Xie Fengyu's eyes panicked for a moment.
"Miss Yu, I'm so excited. You came to my yard early in the morning."
Wang Yan leaned against the door, playing with the jade bone fan that never left his body. Although there was a smile on his lips, there was no smile at all in his eyes.
Xie Fengyu felt angry again when he saw him wearing a thin white robe and his long hair half disheveled.
Yan, a well-known celebrity, came here in a hurry and disheveled clothes because of a side girl. It really insulted the Wang family's character.
Wang Yan seemed not to notice her eyes and looked around. The pitter-patter of water on the ground made him frown slightly.
He avoided the broken pieces of porcelain, stretched out his hand to hold Xie Fengyue, who was huddled in the corner, and said: "Don't come to my place again."
These words were spoken mercilessly. Xie Fengyu, as the only direct daughter of the Xie family in Chen County, had never experienced such anger. She twisted the handkerchief tightly and repeated her mother's warning over and over again in her heart. Never mess with it. Wang's husband is related to the interests of the family.
She took a deep breath and replied: "I'm here today to send an invitation to Sister Yue. She wants to pretend to be sick to prevaricate me."
Wang Yan glanced at Xie Fengyue, who was hanging his head and said nothing, and then continued: "I don't like to say it a second time."
Xie Fengyu's eyes turned red with anger, he bit his lip and sighed softly, then immediately left with his servant.
Xie Fengyue looked through the window and watched Xie Fengyu leave the yard before she said lightly: "Has Mr. Lang done enough?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan's hand felt as if it was pricked by thousands of fine needles. He quickly threw away Xie Fengyue's hand and coughed twice in embarrassment: "It's just holding hands. The son of aristocratic family is romantic, I will do anything more extreme." Got it.”
Xie Fengyue turned her head and glanced at Gongzi Yan. This man just kept talking and his ears were so red.
Feeling Xie Fengyue's gaze, Wang Yan was embarrassed for a moment and then returned to normal: "I don't like being noisy in the morning. You should be more careful in the future."
"Could it be that Mr. Lang didn't wake up? Isn't it my sister Yu who made the noise?" Xie Fengyue directly interpreted Wang Yan's words as a complaint. After all, this Young Master Yan is very narrow-minded, and now he is so angry that he can't even bother to wash up. Come to reprimand people.
Wang Yan was confused again. Didn't he mean by saying this to let her directly use her name in the future to reject those who come to cause trouble?
He didn't want to talk to her for no reason.
But I felt inexplicably angry in my heart, feeling like my good intentions were being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.
In the end, he said coldly: "You obviously have a way to avoid conflict with her. You just deliberately angered her when her nanny was not around."
Xie Fengyue's throat rolled, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled.
This Young Master Yan actually guessed her thoughts from just a few words.
She just wanted to anger Xie Fengyu and see if she could get her to reveal some information about why she would definitely marry Wu Gong.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Wang Yan confirmed it.
This Xie Fengyue is a heartless and black-hearted girl. No matter what she does, she has a purpose.
He kicked the water-stained invitation on the ground: "Mr. Hu from Chen County, there are two husbands in the family who are seeking jobs in Wu Palace. If you have the ability to make people talk, go to this garden party and have a look."
After saying that, he didn't care what else the girl wanted to ask, flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.
Xie Fengyue bowed down and picked up the invitation from the ground, her eyes wandering as she looked at the words "Garden Party" soaked in flowers.
According to Xie Fengyu's character, this Hongmen Banquet was just a bunch of noble ladies teasing her for being ignorant and disrespectful. But if she could really meet the husband of the Hu family who was reporting to Wu Palace, it would be helpful to learn from him about the current situation in Wu Palace. Ridicule doesn't seem to be out of the question.
When spring returns and Yan returns, the servants and soldiers of the Xie Mansion have all taken off their thick coats.
Xie Fengyue specially chose a goose-yellow dress today, and replaced the jade around her waist with the jade usually worn by noble ladies. The garden party we are going to today is hosted by the girls of the Hu family, so those invited must be noble ladies from aristocratic families. Although Chen County is big, Yong'an City only has such a small area.
The fact that Xie Fengyue was the direct branch of the Xie family who was so lucky to be named as a side branch daughter has already become a topic of conversation among Yong'an noble ladies' circles after dinner.
She already looks like her mother, with an extremely beautiful face. If she dresses in a more revealing way, I can't imagine how much trouble those noble girls will get into.
Zhi Zhi on the side put the invitations and things that would be used at the garden party into the jasper box, and held them carefully, with a look as if he was looking at his lifeblood, which made Xie Fengyue laugh out loud.
"Relax, this box won't grow wings and fly away in your hands."
Zhezhi scolded: "Girl, I have seen this box in Baozhuang Pavilion, and I heard they sell hardware!" She poked the agate on the box buckle with an excited look on her face.
Xie Fengyue was angry and funny: "So what about the box hardware? It can't be exchanged for silver."
Zhe Zhi's little thought was exposed, and he lowered his voice: "Why not? Isn't this more money than we have saved?"
"This is the Xie family's property. There is still a family emblem in the buttonhole."
Zhezhi turned the jade box around and looked at the clan emblem as big as a grain of rice with a bitter look on his face: "The girl knows too much."
Huarui carried her things into the inner room at this time. She looked at the girl and Sister Zhezhi chatting and laughing with some envy.
Before she was sent to Jinyuan, she had served several concubines in several mansions. Those masters, perhaps because they could not have concubines in the Xie Mansion, were depressed and frustrated, so they often tried to tease their servants.
The lighter ones would mean being punished and beaten, and the more severe ones would not even save their lives. Anyway, in their eyes, the servants who had signed the slave contract would be disabled or die, which was nothing.
Xie Fengyue caught a glimpse of the figure outside the curtain and asked softly: "Huarui, why don't you come in? Is it because the concierge is making things difficult for you?"
Hua Rui's nose felt sore inexplicably. Only Moon Girl would ask about these trivial matters, and only Moon Girl would seek justice for the girl's injustice.
"Nothing difficult, the carriage is ready." She spoke with a nasal tone.
Xie Fengyue put the lipstick into the jade box and stood up and walked to her: "You must have suffered a lot of grievances. Although those servants don't dare to behave in front of me, they still dare to make things difficult for the maids around me. ”
After hearing this, Huarui's head dropped even lower. She felt so sad that she couldn't even open her eyes.
"Why are you still crying?" Xie Fengyue asked in surprise.
"No, no, no, I just think the girl is too nice." She raised her head and said very sincerely.
Xie Fengyue looked back and forth between the branches and the stamens: "You two must have eaten honey secretly today, your mouths are so sweet."
Zhizhi was heart-warming, she hugged Hua Rui's shoulders and looked at Xie Fengyue with a smile on her face and said: "Then if I praise the girl again, will I eat more honey than Hua Rui."
Xie Fengyue looked at her playing tricks and was angry and funny: "Okay, let's go quickly, and I will let you eat honey when we come back."
The three of them were talking and laughing in the house, but were suddenly interrupted by Song Shan who knocked on the door.
Following him in was a girl dressed as a maidservant. She had her head lowered and her appearance was unclear.
Xie Fengyue calmed down and asked, "Brother Songshan, what is this?"
